CLUB DENOUNCED.

COLUMBIA, S. c., November 29.-A
sensation has been caused by the
fact that several ministers in their
sermons Sunday denounced the Col
umbia City Club as n gambling hell.
Among the members Of the club are
Gov Richardson. Senators Hampton
and Butler. and many other eminent
public men.
If the aforesaid club deserved the
cOgnomen above mentioned then the
ministers, who are the spiritual coun-
cillors of the people, the conservative
teachers Of morals and truth, SO or
dained and recognized, were right in
thus denouncing it, albeit Governors
and Senators and others, however
distinguished, were members thereof.
The more exalted the sinner the more
dangerous and, therefore, the more
culpable the sin by him committed.
Great men are often taken for pat
terms and their habits. however bad,
are either looked upon with grains of
allowance or absolutely excused.
This has been done to too great an
extent and we are glad that the
preachers are beginning to preach as
If the moralrequirements ofthe Bible
were as applicable to one c.ass OF
Een as to all others. Preach to the
uides, right and left, and thus keep
the whole line straight presenting an
unbroken front to the evil enemy of
mankind.

young men pass the aged and veneer
able, whether known or strangers,
matters not, without offering some
respectful recognition of their supe-
riority. Proper reverence for the
aged, profound regard for the pres
ence of ladies, great respect for
equals. and dignifed condescension
to interiors have been features that
have marked the life of every gentle
man raised in this community and we
trust the recollection OF it may exert
restraining influence upon some
whose eyes seem not to behold the
signs and marks of other days.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty OF all drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
sc, 1000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and nj one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such a medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles

cents. Sold by al, druggists and dealers

diagnosed by their old shoes. Take a
shoe which has been worn for a couple

worn, it belongs to nm energetic man of

Some time ago the local scribe of THE
LEADER wrote a letter to tic publishers
of the Century Magazine calling attention
to the fact that in some respects the war
articles now being published therein are
defective. A reply was received a few
DAYS ago, in which among other things
the editors say:
I'VE appreciate your letter-its criti-
cisms as well as its complaints. The limi-
%taiions of articles written about the war by
participants have been evident to us from
the start. Some of these limitations are
inherent in the West Point type of mind
which seems to dwell manly upon tactics
and not to be alive to the popular demand
for clearness of definition and fullness of
color. To this rule there have been some
notable exceptions

But one form Of diversion is forbidden
the royal ladies'; l refer to their inter-
views with the court physicians. Next
TO the sacred luxury of a confidential
talk with a father confessor of a favored
pastor, there is scarce any solace which
possesses such attractions for the average
woman as q sympathetic recital of her
troubles and ailments to n trusted family
physician. But neither II nor the other
is allowed to see the wives Of the shah.
No priest nor doctor can receive from
them the soothing confession of SORROWS
md sins or the narrative of aches and
pains.
OF course il she is i'll then a wife of the
shah receives medical attention. But the
physician may not obtain even u sight OF
her face. Behind u curtain, surrounded
by her attendants, she responds to his
questions; in extreme need she may show
her tongue, but no other part of her
features. Nor is the interview altogether
attractive to the physician, especially if
he be a native, for he must necessarily
be extremely guarded in his language,
and if the patient dies it may go hard
with the doctor. He does not venture to
prepare or furnish the drugs himself, and
the medicines he prescribes must be COM
pounded by servants of the palace, to in
sure against danger of poisoning, as well
rs to protect the practitioner from sus-
picion.
The European physicians practicing at
the court of the shah exercise somewhat
greater liberty in the matter of drugs and
prescriptions, but even they are obliged
to proceed with great caution, and never
attempt any serious surgical operations
when the patient is a Mussulman.-S.
